Libya parliament reverses stance, approves 2019 maritime deal with Türkiye

Libya's parliament unanimously endorsed the 2019 Mediterranean maritime agreement with Türkiye, repealing prior resolutions that rejected the deal and called for severing political ties. This marks a significant policy reversal by the Tobruk-based parliament, potentially reshaping Eastern Mediterranean energy and maritime boundary disputes. The move could escalate tensions with Greece, Egypt, and Cyprus, which oppose the agreement, and may impact regional gas exploration and naval posturing.
